Kap, <Athlon XP 1800+ performs as fast or faster than T-bird at 1.8GHz on the set of benchmarks that AMD lists on their web site.>

I just checked their web site. Nowhere is there any comparison between an Athlon XP 1800+ and a (non-existent) T-bird at 1.8 GHz. All of their comparisons are with a Pentium 4 at 1.8 GHz.

But that's not my point. My point is that the "1800+" number is arbitrary. Pete is arguing that Intel's Pro Forma numbers are arbitrary. Essentially he is criticizing Intel for reporting "quanti-earnings," but he seems to have no qualms with an arbitrary "quantispeed" number.
